Cannot wait until these kids go back to BM's!!
So DH talked to YSS yesterday again about not wasting food and I was going to take a nap because I haven't been getting enough sleep however, there was a very loud noise coming from the kitchen and it ended up waking me up. DH was in the kitchen so I called him on his cell phone and asked him what the loud noise was. He said OSS was chopping onions. I told him well tell him to be more quiet because you know I am trying to take a nap. DH tells me well you know his brain doesn't operate that way. I told him well please tell him that he needs to be respectful of other people in this house and to keep the noise down! Freaking kids all day long making noise from the time I get home until I go to sleep at night. I am not used to this at all! Counting down the days until these kids go back to BM's. \

Well maybe your DH should
Well maybe your DH should chop up the onions if SS's braiin doesn't work that way. Chopping onions should not wake someone up. Geez.
Silver lining... dad was
Silver lining... dad was getting a Skid to help with a chore? I actually would be a bit concerned by a kid who seems to have issues following directions well using a sharp knife to cut a vegetable. It's possible that your DH was letting him cut on the counter directly? maybe that's why it was loud?
And.. Again your DH is a big part of the problem.
He knew you were taking a nap. He gives SS a task to do and Skid is loud and it doesn't occur to your DH either that the noise would bother a napping person... so apparently DH's BRAIN doesn't work that way either. He doesn't care if his kids make noise all day long and bother you.. HE doesn't care enough to make them be more courteous. How do you expect kids to learn when their father won't ever teach them?
It wasn't a chore SS was
It wasn't a chore SS was doing it all on his own. These kids do not have any chores. They do need to be taught how to do things though. I know DH is the problem but how do you get through to someone who doesn't see that anything is wrong with that their kids do? Which is why I have tried to disengage for the most part.
Ok...I'm a bit confused at
Ok...I'm a bit confused at why a 12 yo kid (that's the age right?) is taking it upon himself to chop an onion. Most kids that age don't even like onions and from your description of these kids it seems really an off the wall thing for them to do and your DH KNEW he was randomly chopping onions and didn't ask him why? I think I am coming around to agree with some other people from yesterday.. your DH and you are not a good fit.
He is 13 and apparently he
He is 13 and apparently he wanted to grill some onions. Since I refuse to cook anything for this kid anymore DH will either cook it or SS will make it on his own which is usually easy things like macaroni and cheese or ramen.
You and I think alike
OMG! I am in the same boat! Can't wait for these kids to go back to their moms
